Ellington will miss tonight's game for personal reasons

Ellington has just become a major part of the Mavs' rotation for the first time this season. In a Feb. 26 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, Ellington scored a season-high tying 12 points while making 4-of-5 shots from beyond the 3-point arc.

In Ellington's absence, second-year veteran Jae Crowder will move up a notch in the rotation. Crowder originally had the spot ahead of Ellington, but fell out of favor with coach Rick Carlisle.
